James 4:9-11

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

⁹ Be miserable^[a] and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy into dejection^[b]. ¹⁰ Humble-yourselves^[c] in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.

So Do Not Be Speaking Against Or Judging One Another

¹¹ Do not be speaking-against one another, brothers. The one speaking-against a brother or judging his brother is speaking-against the Law and judging the Law. But if you are judging the Law, you are not a doer of the Law, but a judge.
